Engineers2B - Engineering - Virginia Commonwealth University

Engineers2B (E2B), is a program designed to provide small groups of students from grades 6-12 with the chance to visit the Virginia Commonwealth University College of Engineering, to experience engineering and computer science. E2B also offers visits to schools to provide activities on site (having a classroom reserved for STEAM is preferred).

Engineers2B is your portal to the world of engineering and computer science: innovation, imagination and pragmatism. Middle and high school students interested in learning more about STEAM and improving their world are invited to our customized, hands-on experiences featuring aspects of engineering and computer science. Groups typically range from 10-20 students. Larger groups are welcome to visit as well but will not be able to do hands-on activities. A typical Engineers2B visit lasts three to four hours and includes engaging activities that help develop the student’s interest in STEAM.

Engineers2B customized experiences can include:

A visit to your school by VCU Engineering staff and faculty based upon school need(s).
Introduction to Engineering presentation (What is engineering?, What type of engineer are you?)
VCU College of Engineering guided tours
Participate with VCU College of Engineering staff and students in an engineering activity (Lego robotics programming, 3D drawing, simple circuit design, basic programming, and more)
A presentation pertaining to admissions for the College of Engineering
Hosted lunch at VCU's dining hall or local restaurant with current College of Engineering staff and students
Q and A panel session with VCU Engineering students
Other customizable opportunities depending on group interest(s)
